President Mudabe's crackdown to whip the Zimbabwe National Liberation War Veterans’ Association (ZNLWVA) back into line has seen state agents investigations into the communique written by the freedom fighters intensifying leading to more arrests.
ZNLWVA vice-chairman, Headman Moyo and the association’s Harare executive member, Wayne Bhila were arrested after they handed over themselves at Harare Central Police Station in the company of their lawyers.
This followed Tuesday’s arrest of war veterans’ secretary-general, Victor Matemadanda, who was picked up as he left the courtroom, where the association’s spokesperson, Douglas Mahiya was being charged for allegedly undermining President Robert Mugabe through the communiqué.
Mahiya was on Tuesday released on $300 bail.
The war veterans’ lawyer, Shingi Mutumbwa, revealed that Moyo and Bhila were likely to be brought to court today facing charges of undermining the President.
“We went to Harare Central Police Station with Headman Moyo and Wayne Bhila and they have been charged. Indications are that they will be detained overnight and go to court tomorrow,” he said.
